'Swearing' outburst may overshadow Murray Open win

ANDY Murray is through to the final of the Australian Open after a hard-fought victory over world No 7 Tomas Berdych - but that wasn't the take-home message for many people from today's match.

Twitter users have reacted with a mix of surprise and admiration to video footage that appears to show Murray's fiancee Kim Sears directing an expletive-laden outburst at his Czech opponent.

It has been observed that Ms Sears' behaviour off the court matches her partner's on it - or as journalist and prime Vine creator (see footage below) Richard Osley put it: "Andy Murray and his girlfriend look like the love a good swear."

The broadcaster even provided some "statistics" to go along with the shot, that appeared to describe the women themselves as worth "4.7 carats ($379,460)" and "5.3 carats ($341,514)" respectively.

Responding to the coverage on Twitter, one user asked "why we need to know" this information, while Laura Costa wrote: "So Tomas Berdych's fiancee has the bigger ring but Andy Murray paid more for his fiancee's ring. #thingsthatmatter."
